News

Plumlee will shift back to a bench role for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact

Plumlee has started the last five games, but hasn't been overly effective and has averaged just 5.4 points and 4.2 rebounds across 17.1 minutes. With Dewayne Dedmon (leg), John Collins (shoulder) and Mike Muscala (ankle) all still out, Plumlee should still see a slightly elevated role, though the Hawks are set to experiment with Tyler Cavanaugh in the top unit instead. That sends Plumlee back to a reserve role.

News

Plumlee's marijuana citation from earlier this summer has been dismissed, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact

This simply means that Plumlee won't face any discipline by the league or the Hawks themselves, so look for him to take the court as scheduled moving forward. With Mike Muscala (ankle), John Collins (shoulder) and Dewayne Dedmon (leg) out, Plumlee should continue to start at center and see a increased role for the time being.

News

Plumlee will draw the start at center for Saturday's game against the Nets, Annie Finberg of the Hawks' official website reports.

Impact

Plumlee has played a combined 13 minutes in his first two games with the Hawks this season, though will draw the start Saturday out of necessity with Dewayne Dedmon (leg), John Collins (shoulder) and Mike Muscala (ankle) all sidelined. There's a strong chance he continues to do so while all three players are absent.

News

Plumlee made his season debut in Saturday's blowout loss to Toronto.

Impact

Plumlee had been battling a quad injury since camp, which had kept him out of the first month-plus of the regular season. After a rehab stint in the G-League, Plumlee debut off the bench Saturday, seeing nine minutes and finishing with no statistics, outside of one turnover. Expect the Hawks to gradually work Plumlee back into the rotation, though it's unclear where, exactly, he'll stand in a big man rotation that features Dewayne Dedmon, John Collins, Ersan Ilyasova and Mike Muscala (ankle).

News

Plumlee (quad) is listed as available for Monday's matchup against the Spurs.

Impact

Plumlee, who has yet to play for the Hawks this season due to injury, was recalled from the G-League on Sunday. Thus, his availability for Monday's game unsurprising. He averaged 3.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steal, and 1.0 block across 15.9 minutes in two G-League games over the past week. He is unlikely to make a big dent in the rotation right away.

News

Plumlee (quad) was recalled from the G-League on Sunday, Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact

Plumlee has yet to play for the Hawks this season due to a quad injury, but is nearing a return to full strength and just completed a rehab stint with the team's G-League affiliate. He ended taking part in two G-League games over the last week, averaging 3.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steal and 1.0 block across 15.9 minutes. He appears to have avoided any sort of setbacks with the quad and will now have a chance to make his season debut with the big club on Monday vs. the Spurs. Plumlee is officially listed as probable for that contest.

News

Plumlee (quad) is slated to play two games with Hawks' G-League affiliate before being recalled, Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact

Plumlee was assigned to the G-League earlier Wednesday and is now going to remain there through Saturday. That means Plumlee is slated to miss the Hawks next two games, with his first opportunity to make his 2017-18 debut next Monday against the Spurs. That will ultimately be determined by how his quad feels after the increase in activity, so continue to monitor his status moving forward.

News

Plumlee (quad) was assigned to the G-League on Wednesday, Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact

Plumlee has yet to see the court this season while working back from a strained right quad, so it appears this will be a rehab stint for him. Look for Plumlee to take part in a practice or two, and potentially a game, with the Hawks' G-League affiliate before being recalled to make his big league debut.

News

Plumlee (quad) will remain sidelined for Monday's game against the Pelicans, KL Chouinard of ATLand29.com reports.

Impact

Plumlee has yet to make his season debut while working back from a strained right quad and will once again sit out Monday. With Mike Muscala (ankle) also still out, John Collins should continue to be the top backup at both power forward and center.

News

Plumlee (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pistons, KL Chouinard of ATLand29.com reports.

Impact

Plumlee still hasn't seen the court this season as he works back from a strained right quad and the Hawks haven't provided any sort of timetable for a return, so he'll continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis. With Mike Muscala (ankle) also still out, look for Dewayne Dedmon and John Collins to handle the center minutes.
